CLARITY AND CONCISION OF SOLICITATION MATERIALS Sample Clauses

CLARITY AND CONCISION OF SOLICITATION MATERIALS. While not really concise (it totals 53 pages excluding attachments, vs. Edison’s 46 pages and SDG&E’s 24 pages), Xxxxxx believes that the contents of PG&E’s 2011 RPS RFO solicitation protocol generally provided clear and comprehensible direction to Participants on how to prepare and submit complete Offer packages that could be accepted and evaluated. Xxxxxx has a few observations about the clarity of the guidance provided in the protocol and issues created when Participants failed to understand or follow that guidance: • Most Offers were submitted as complete and conforming packages. Common deficiencies in other Offers included:

CLARITY AND CONCISION OF SOLICITATION MATERIALS. While not a particularly concise set of materials, the contents of PG&E’s 2009 RPS RFO solicitation protocol generally provided clear direction to Participants on how to prepare and submit complete proposal packages that could be evaluated. Xxxxxx has a few observations about the clarity of the guidance provided in the protocol and issues created when Participants failed to understand or follow that guidance: • The great majority of proposals were submitted as complete and conforming packages. The most common deficiencies in other proposals were (1) failures to submit the offer form (Attachment D) for all variants or project phases; (2) errors in filling in the offer form such as missing data; (3) failures to provide the electronic version of the package; (4) discrepancies between proposal text and offer form; and
CLARITY AND CONCISION OF SOLICITATION MATERIALS. PG&E’s 2012 RPS solicitation protocol is modestly sized for a document of its type (it totals 33 pages excluding attachments, vs. SDG&E’s 30 pages), and is more concise than protocols PG&E used in prior years. This is part because some of the bulky text specifying detailed requirements for Offers’ contents has been shifted into Attachment J from the main body of the protocol. Xxxxxx regards this as an improvement over prior years. Xxxxxx believes that the contents of PG&E’s 2012 RPS RFO solicitation protocol generally provided clear and comprehensible direction to Participants on how to prepare and submit complete Offer packages that could be accepted and evaluated. Here are a few observations about the clarity of the guidance provided in the protocol: • Nearly all Offers were submitted as complete and conforming packages. The most common deficiency that needed to be remedied was a failure to include interconnection studies. This requirement was stated in two points within the solicitation protocol, so the fact that about a dozen Offers were submitted that failed to include the studies suggests that some Participants were inattentive. Perhaps greater emphasis needs to be placed on this specific requirement in future pre-offer conference presentations. Xxxxxx does not see how PG&E could have edited the solicitation protocol to make it plainer to see that this was a requirement. The proportion of Offers that needed to be corrected for deficiencies in the offer packages was fairly modest and lower than in some prior years’ renewable RFOs. This suggests that PG&E’s solicitation materials were clear enough for the majority of Participants to understand and follow. • The 2012 solicitation protocol stated some preferences of the utility:
CLARITY AND CONCISION OF SOLICITATION MATERIALS. For this informal e-solicitation PG&E did not draft or disseminate written protocols, either public or non-public, to document the requirements of the request for bids or to state the evaluation criteria that the utility would use to make its selection decision. This contrasts to PG&E’s procedures with formal competitive procurement efforts. The e-mail sent to the potential bidders identified by the team was terse, consisting of less than one page of text for the cover sheet, a small spreadsheet, and a twelve-page form agreement. Xxxxxx’x opinion is that solicitation materials were clear to potential bidders. Each participant provided sufficient information in its bid package for PG&E to conduct its evaluation. The simplicity of the bid instructions and of the bidding form compared strikingly to the density of PG&E’s usual RPS RFO documents. However, this is partly because the materials revealed very little to bidders about how the e-solicitation would work. The materials were clear and concise rather than comprehensive in their disclosure.
